Heat treat oven and mill - need advice
My house has standard 200 amp service.
I have an Abne hor./vert. mill. It has a 3 phase motor. I beleive it is a 5 horse motor. I do not have a converter.
Suggestions I have had so far are:
-Get 3 phase to the house. $9,000 from the power company.
-Get a second 200 amp service to the garage with sub panel and a converter $4-5,000. Maybe a more.
-Get a single phase motor for the mill and run a single phase line from the panel in the house to the garage.
I am also building a side by side heat treat oven and temper oven. I am lacking one part for both: the A1 Kanthol wire. 2300 max temp. Does anyone have a source?
I have the components to set it up 220. Again I have the problem with no 220 service to the garage. Should I set them up 110?
Few pics.
